In July 2008 the artist Dave Pearson died leaving an enormous amount of artwork. This blog follows the journey taken by one of the executors of his will - a steep learning curve to perpetuate the reputation of an inspirational artist and man.

Back to York

Yesterday I went across to York for a final look at the exhibition at the According to McGee gallery on Tower Street (opposite Cliffords Tower). Today (Sunday) is the last day of the show. I also met up with Graham Breakwell, who helped me hang the exhibition, as he had come up from Shropshire with his wife Angie and their two children.

It looked great; and I was very pleased to see that 10 pieces have been sold, including the smallish oil on canvas (above) 'The Orange Tree', that I've always rather liked, and was a late addition to the exhibition to fill in a gap when a couple of works were sold on the opening weekend and taken away by the buyer.

Tomorrow then, it'll be off with the hired transit to collect the remaining paintings and bring them back home to the old studio. But today, if you're interested, there's one last opportunity to visit the exhibition, and perhaps buy yourself a fantastic painting.

The Dave Pearson Studio

From 2009 until March 2018 The Dave Pearson Trust looked after Dave Pearson's creative legacy.

In April 2018 The Dave Pearson Studio took over this role, and the story behind both the Trust years and the studio is documented in this blog, which is a resource for anyone interested in the management of artist's estates.

Dave Pearson's legacy is now owned by Dave's son Chris and supported by Bob Frith. Ella Cole works with us as Archivist.
